Hi, sorry to post this question in here but it won't allow me to post anywhere else.
I have an (I believe 85) 250r. I remember its the last year before water cooled. I have to check but its at my fathers house. Anyways... its been sitting for the last couple years now and he wants to get rid of it. I spent a bit of time on it when I was younger. Everything was in excellent condition when we bought it. The plastic was great, not faded, everything was painted and fresh. It was very nice.
However 2 things.. 1 the pipe got dented in. It was repaired but looks kind of ugly. Will probably need a new pipe. and 2... the connecting rod bearing went. The cases were split but we never could come up with the money to order the parts. So everything has been sitting.
Wondering what something like that might be worth in the real world today. I know if it was mint like it was when we got it it'd be worth a bit, but with the motor being apart and needing some parts and the exhaust.. what is your opinion? Would like to help him get rid of it and need to know where to start so that I'm not wasting my time or anyone elses. I will try to get over there to take pics soon.
Thank you for the help.
